democracy vs communism in the middle east

Do you think we would be better off alowing these middle eastern countries to remain a communist dictatorship and just simply keeping there leaders happy with money.

Interesting way to frame the question. Most of the dictators are plain old self serving, megalomaniacs.

Its kind of like a bandage on a wound. When you take the bandage off to clean the wound, it will flare up for a while an then get better again.

Changing the bandage by free elections would be better than by uprisings.

Bad analogy because it glazes over the most integral part of the problem: the people.

A foreign government cannot go into another country and establish some other form of government without the people and then expect them to like it or keep it. It does not matter if it is democracy or totalitarianism. A revolt to change the government MUST start within.
 
The closest the mid east came to Communism is when the Russians were over there. The mid east doesn't lend itself to communism which is why they are theocracies.

Huh? The Russians were over where? Other than Afghanistan, I don't think the Russians have ever occupied any other nation in the middle east.

And you definately have things a bit backwards. The tribe and ethnic groups in the middle east are very religious, which is why that communism has never caught on. They are clearly unbelievers.

No I don't have it backwards, that's why you agreed with me. The closest the middle east came to communism is when the Russians were trying to take over Afghanistan. Communism would never be popular because these countries are very religious theocracies. See how right you are!

I would welcome anything other than a theocracy.

Statist Progressivism is It's own brand of Theocracy, ending with the Will of the State being Infallible. Just a thought. Totalitarianism is Total control.

Odd isn't it, even after the great 20th century liberals: Hitler, Stalin, and Mao killed perhaps 150 million the liberal still worries most about religion.

Its really odd when you consider that the Christian God taught us for the first time that our God was not on earth, but in heaven. The liberals hate that since it rules out their earthly Gods like Hitler Stalin and Mao.

Well, first off, those Countries are Totalitarian Dictatorships.)

but why didn't they pick up the idea of freedom and capitalism from the USA given our huge huge success compared to them?????

Why???....because our liberals hate what America stands for and so dilute our message to the world. Our liberals even spied for Stalin. What does that tell you about how much they promote Jeffersonian ideals?

Liberals lack the IQ to understand capitalism and freedom, so obviously don't promote it and accordingly are responsible for most of the suffering, genocide, war, hunger, and disease in the world today.
 
Democracy in the Middle East as in any Islamic country is an "oxymoron"....Islam via the Koran makes absolutely NO provision for anything slightly democratic...Democracy Islamic style would be having a vote on which way you should be killed, raped or otherwise subjugated to the will of Allah and his prophet....Muslims are the first victims of Islam and can only be free through death or apostasy (providing they don't kill you) :badgrin:

ABOVE ALL, THE DEVIL HATES TO BE MOCKED

perhaps but don't forget America was settled by very religious folks too. It changed to tolerate many different religions. The Middle East has been denied that evolution as liberals have drowned out the "shot heard round the world", most notably by spying for Stalin and now electing Barry.

Do you actually believe that 'We' have a say in the matter?

We CLEARLY do have a say. Look at Iraq.

It is just that our ‘say’ never, ever, ends up being what we wanted and does not really help anything. Our ‘say’ should be used for better things like American things.
